Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold is an excellent book I have recently begun to read. It's even longer that the Bloomberg post, and also such much more detailed and in-depth (-;

In fact, I found the book very enjoyable. It gives a nice pedagogic twist on how information can processed with hardware.

It has been discussed on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1936474

I just picked this book up as well. I've been trying to find resources that go from first principles to real-world implementation of something and this is the best example I've found so far. Enjoy!
